From AM to PM with me & my NYE

Here's how I spend my December 31 and it was quite a dynamic one.

Zo spendeerde ik 31 december en deze was een enerverende dag geweest.

Packing (9:59 AM)
Just the essentials for 1 night stay over. The backpack is a great boyfriend by the way which I got it from Hong Kong.
Bundt cake & tea (10:21 AM)
Since I was staying over at my best friend I just can`t drop by empty handed so I`ve made a nice chocolate bundt cake. Bundt cakes are a great homemade food gifts in my opinion.
It`s easy, quick and it also looks pretty to the eye too.
Train life (12:05 PM)
Before I went over to my bestie`s home, I went to Rotterdam first and did some quick shopping and hoping to find something good and valuable in the after Christmas sale season. Here in the train on my way to Rotterdam I did the usual me-time. Here I was folding some origami stars which I haven`t done it in a long while. Very therapeutic.
Rotterdam Central station.
Me in Rotterdam (1:05 PM)
I went to Monki, Hutspot, 3x H&M, American Today, TK Maxx, Lush, C&A, Costes and 華南行.
Monki is one of my favorite clothing brand and also have a beaaautiful fitting room which makes it also my favorite too. Here I was trying out this grey wool coat that I almost bought but didn`t because it was too big.
Food break (3:27 PM)
Cappuccino & speculoos cookie followed by a quick sushi lunch.
Sumo Sushi Bar - Rotterdam - The Netherlands

This little sushi plate and a pot green tea was €10 in total. You can call it cheap or pricey but when I eat sushi I usually go for the all-you-can-eat system which is of course a lot more value in money so I call this lunch a slight pricey one.
Going home (5:22 PM)
It was time to be heading home and on my way back to the train station I saw this dude juggling with fire. Impressive!
Take away dindin, snacking & game (5:22 PM)
Arrived at my bestie`s place with food at last! My bestie`s boyfriend and baby sister whom I am friends with also stayed for the NYE.
After our dinner we had a fun evening with food, wine and card games until it was time to celebrate NYE with fireworks.
Cards Against Humanity card game.
Happy New Year (0:07 AM)
Buying legalized firework is still ok in Holland and so we fired some in the air.
Heck it was freezing and foggy that night but it was wonderful at the same time.

    I love Monki as well. And I love that you make cake as a gift. I love that idea (I love flowers as gifts, but I think cake as gifts is just as wonderful)! Happy New Year!

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas! Happy bunch of bananas because a banana provides good energy to our body, anti-stress and of course is a good snack for every monkeyheads like us!

Please try it out!    NL Deze week is mijn eerste werk week weer begonnen na een heerli

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/broodjes/Da
